Analysing Transformative Processes for the Management of the WEF nexus and the Advancement of the SDGs in Sub-Saharan Africa

Shifting towards more sustainable development requires large-scale transformative change and more inclusive and systemic approaches that embrace complexity and move away from top-down technocratic approaches towards adaptive and innovation-driven governance that links civil society, the private sector and government.

This collaborative project involves German and Southern African research organisations seeking to better understand transformative processes associated with implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus. Through the sharing of knowledge, approaches and experiences with an expanding network of researchers and practitioners throughout Sub-Saharan Africa but also internationally, the intention is to strengthen sustainable development in this region.
